If the décor at your local mall hasn't given it away, the long lines at the airport certainly will. Yes, the holiday season is upon us.

Thankfully "No Reservations'" Anthony Bourdain, who has spent a fair amount of time with the TSA, is willing to share his airport strategy:

“I’m very good at going through security,” he said. “I don’t get cranky. I’m ready for the worst. I always wear a particular set of shoes. By the time I’m even near the machine I’ve got my belt off, my wristwatch in my pocket. I’m not approaching that thing with any liquids or gels. I’ve got my [expletive] together. I don’t want to be that guy.”
